Step Forward Group Pilot - October 2023

We are excited to announce the pilot of a second STEP FORWARD family violence support group in the City of Monash.

Our group in August saw a record number of participants and we are excited to announce that we will be piloting a second group in October. The group will be in the City of Monash which will allow us to extend our reach into another area as well as providing alternative dates for participants.

The group will follow the same format and be facilitated by our Specialist Family Violence Practitioners. We are hoping with a second group we will have the same success and we will be able to continue into 2024.

The second group will start on Tuesdays October 24 and October 31 from 10am-2.30pm in the Chadstone area
